I agree with that person from Girardville saying that building in a disgrace in Girardville. Five years ago we were at a council meeting and the chimney was going to fall down and the borough president said, "We'll look into it, we'll look into it."

Raise the debt ceiling, Obama says, or we will default. The liberal tax-and-spend crowd is responsible for this in the first place. We all read about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire in school. Now you are about to witness firsthand the fall of the United States of America. Thanks, Democrats.
